https://musicke.blogspot.com/2015/06/renaud-capucon-and-frank-braley-in.html
Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Friday, 26 June 2015. Renaud Capuçon and Frank Braley in Beethoven. On an impulse, I reached up to one of my CD shelves and recovered the set of the ten violin and piano sonatas by Beethoven, as recorded by Renaud Capuçon. Well over three and a half hours of enjoyment; thank you Beethoven, Renaud and Frank. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My collection of violin recordings.

Musicke & Food: Mozart, and the Germans
https://musicke.blogspot.com/2015/08/mozart-and-germans.html
Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Saturday, 1 August 2015. Mozart, and the Germans. Century (though preferably not try to emulate what might have been the exact sound world of the music of nearly 250 years ago). Has been the Mozart concerto best stand-by for nearly 50 years now and, of more recent recordings, I have enjoyed Arabella Steinbacher. Latest arrival on my player is Frank Peter Zimmerman. My collection of...

Musicke & Food: Liza Ferschtman

Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Saturday, 20 June 2015. For a small country with a population of just under 17 million people, the Netherlands produces an astonishing number of first class violinists including Simone Lamsma, Isabelle van Keulen, Janine Jansen and Liza Ferschtman; just the ones whose playing I have often heard. The latest Dutch girl on my CD player is Liza Ferschtman. Ox Tongue and Nikon.

Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Monday, 31 August 2015. Schubert's Last Three Piano Sonatas. Today I listened to the last three piano sonatas of Franz Schubert. Strange to think that they were relatively unknown and unplayed until the 20. The outburst of rage / frustration / despair during the andantino. These sonatas are best listened to played by “simple” great pianists such as Sviatoslav Richter, C...I seem to...

Musicke & Food: BIS, and Franz Liszt Again
https://musicke.blogspot.com/2015/07/bis-and-franz-liszt-again.html
Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Saturday, 25 July 2015. BIS, and Franz Liszt Again. Three stars to the Swedish record company, BIS. And a booklet with a big picture of Liszt, a half page photo of the violinist and pianist Roland Pöntinen; companies such as DGG and Warner take note. We really do not need multiple pages of semi-clad artists. Liszt's works for violin and piano are fascinating; the Lugubre Gondola.

Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Saturday, 25 July 2015. Eugen Jochum in Bruckner.

Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Saturday, 8 August 2015. Albert Hermann Dietrich, and Joseph Joachim. It is sometimes dispiriting to discover that, after over 60 years of listening to music, there is so much more to discover. The 17. And first half of the 20. Today, I was listening to the violin concerto of Albert Hermann Dietrich. A close friend of Brahms, Schumann and Joseph Joachim. Albert Hermann Dietrich, an...

Musicke & Food: Lisa Batiashvili

Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Monday, 10 August 2015. Three major violin concertos – by Beethoven, Brahms and Shostakovich's first – have no shortage of excellent contenders for three star status, in my hierarchy. Probably the only violinist to achieve three stars in all three concertos, is Lisa Batiashvili. And I had a mini- Lisa festival yesterday, listening to the three concertos played by her.

Musicke & Food: Thomas Christian plays Ernst
https://musicke.blogspot.com/2015/07/thomas-christian-plays-ernst.html
Personal journal dealing mainly with music listened to, plus various food and wine matters. Rants at a few favourite topics. Tuesday, 21 July 2015. Thomas Christian plays Ernst. The music of Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst. Is best known – when it is known at all – for his Erlkönig. And Last Rose of Summer. On a theme from Rossini's Otello. It all sounds nice and, despite the CDs' title of “The Virtuoso Violin”, there is not much purely technical virtuosity needed in most of the pieces on these CDs.
